A closed down pizza shop in Brighton is currently receiving a fresh lick of paint in anticipation of a new eatery opening later this month.
The former location of Hey Bianca on Brighton Rd at Brighton will now house Francesca’s Pizza + Sandos.
The new pizza shop, according to the Google listing, is set to open on Monday July 15.
Francesca’s is owned by Nilavan Baskaran and Aman Takher — Mr Takher was also co-owner of Hey Bianca which has since quietly closed all three of its locations in the city, West Beach and Brighton.
Francesca’s Pizza + Sandos first opened on Anzac Highway at Glenelg in March 2024 changing the pizza game with its folded-up pizza — or a pizza portafoglio.
The Advertiser has attempted to contacted the owners for comment.
